Fact-check findings
What an automated fact-checker found when it re-read YO Protocol against the sources the page cites. Only the most recent review is shown.
Read this first
These findings are produced by an automated reviewer, and its results vary between runs: the same page, checked three times on the same day, came back with 15%, 20% and 34% of its claims disputed, mostly because each run extracted a different number of claims. Treat what follows as leads, not rulings.
“Disputed” means the reviewer could not reconcile the claim with the evidence it cited. It does not mean the claim is false. “Unverifiable” means no reachable source settled it either way.
Nothing here changes the page on its own. A proposed correction is applied only after a human moderator approves it; until then the page reads as it did when reviewed.
unverifiable
3 claimsNo source the reviewer could reach confirms or contradicts the claim.

“As of December 2025, YO Protocol reported that none of its vaults had been impacted by hacks or exploits since launch, with over $80 million in historical TVL at peak, $2.67 million in cumulative yield distributed to users, and approximately 15,000 unique depositors.”
reviewerOperational track record: no vault impacted by hacks or exploits since launch as of December 2025Cited CoinDesk article does not contain these figures per the fetch; no hack in Dec 2025 is consistent with known history.

“YO Protocol has commissioned eight audits of its vault and gateway contracts across multiple firms.”
reviewerEight audits commissionedPage lists 6+2+2 = 10 audits itself, so the 'eight' is internally inconsistent, and the docs now include adapter audits not mentioned.Proposed correction (not yet applied)YO Protocol has commissioned ten audits of its vault and gateway contracts across multiple firms, with further adapter audits listed by Cantina (June 2026) and Omniscia (October 2026).

How this fits together. The reviewer reads the published page and its cited sources and records one finding per claim. A human moderator decides whether each proposed correction is applied; those decisions, and the score changes they cause, appear in the audit log. Earlier review runs are not shown here; only the latest reflects the page as it stands.
